[PATCH] phy: Elimination the forced speed reduction algorithm.

[PATCH] phy: Elimination the forced speed reduction algorithm.

[Kirill Kapranov]

In case of fixed speed set up for a NIC (e.g. ethtool -s eth0 autoneg off speed
100 duplex full) with an ethernet cable plugged off, the mentioned algorithm
slows down a NIC speed, so further cable hook-up leads to nonoperable link state.

Does the absence of criticism mean that this patch is ready for
upstream?
Maybe I shall write more verbose explanation additionally?

You were given feedback on coding style, did you address and fix these
issues in the submission you made today?

This is not a single-statement basic block, and therefore you
should remove the surrounding braces.

s/not/now/

The phy code also uses non standard kernel style tests like
	if (CONSTANT == variable)
instead of
	if (variable == CONSTANT)

Right, to trigger compile time errors when "=" is accidently used
instead of "==".

But the whole driver is like this already.

Thank You, the excess braces will be removed.
